Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaThe family suites are down from the property and across the road, so a little bit of an unexpected walk to the pool and breakfast.
The cabins are well maintained and comfortable, the smaller rooms have balconies right into the trees which was very nice to enjoy morning coffee. The pool was large and clean, all the staff were super friendly and welcoming, the recommended restaurants for supper were perfect. They have beautifully maintained trail down to the river right on the property. And the property is right across from a chocolate tour!

GermanyThe interior decoration could be rounded up with 2 chairs one table for the sofa and a hairdryer.
We stayed in the Delux Suites down by the river looking directly from our terrace into tropical forest with all its typical animal sounds at night. Quite an experience! We enjoyed it! The apartment very clean and spacious. Well suited for us.

United KingdomA bit dark at night time getting back to the lodge. But all added to the jungle experience. Quite a distance from the town, but did have restaurants within walking distance.
We were given the new style lodge down the hill near the river. It felt like we were right in the jungle. Saw lots of wildlife from the balcony. Lovely pool Hot shower Had a hot tub on the decking Helpful manager/owner

United StatesMom and I were very happy with our stay
We loved the hike to the river running through the property! Plenty of birds and wildlife. Good location in town - far enough away from the center of Fortuna but walking distance to restaurants and a coffee shop. Great wi-fi and TV service. And a delicious breakfast every morning! We requested to move from a 2 bedroom to a 1 bedroom with a king bed. I made a small comment that I was sad we didn't have a hammock in the king room, and next thing I know, there's a hammock hanging up on our porch!!! They went above and beyond. And were so kind :)

United StatesI loved the grounds and how close the property was to things. It feels remote and private but only takes a couple of minutes to get into town. I only spent a single night as a pass through to hit the Caribbean side of Costa Rica so didn't experience everything there was. It was also raining which was typical for Fortuna. The river walk below the cabins was also a nice add on which my mother and I took advantage of ahead of the long drive coming later that day. Lots of birds to watch off the balcony.

SloveniaAllthought we booked a deluxe room, we were accommodated to a standard room, because there was no deluxe room available at our arrival. Luckly, we sorted this out the next day. The deluxe room is much better, so if you have a change i reccommed to book it. Otherwise it was lovely and close to the best restaurant in La Fortuna!

United StatesGreat stay, if you are looking for a place to stay close to nature don’t look further. We got really surprised at check in that there is no AC and I was nearly nervous to stay with an allergic child. Air is so pure, it’s jungle mountain and no AC is needed, Not had much trouble with dust or mold, kids really enjoyed. Highlights of the stay is homily breakfast, cooked at host kitchen every day and what a real home coming feel and thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

United StatesThe first day we had no view from our balcony because of over grown trees. I had to request that the trees get cut down. The grounds were very nice but more effort towards grooming would improve the environment.

United StatesWonderful family run place. Gabriele was super friendly and helpful. And I enjoyed talking with the grandfather in the mornings. Very welcoming. The Wifi was good, but went out a few times, but not for long....only a few minutes here and there, but the signal was strong. There is a lovely cat that joined me each morning for pets. And they put food out so all kinds of colorful birds join for breakfast.
